Hi Reader,

Lately, even the most optimistic people I know admit something quietly: “I’m tired.”

Tired of waking up to headlines that spike the nervous system.
Tired of watching politics turn neighbors into enemies.
Tired of the violence, the losses, the tragedies that keep stacking up.
Tired of the bills, the market swings, the financial pressure that never seems to let up.

Add the daily challenges of maintaining a happy marriage, figuring out how to parent your kids, and dealing with fellow humans who can often seem totally self-absorbed...

… and suddenly your mind starting thinking: What’s the point to all this?

Even high performers question why we grind so hard if life is just going to feel like "death by a thousand cuts."

This isn't being negative. It's a type of emotional overload that can quickly drain one's perspective, faith, and motivation to take action. and follow-through on our goals, commitments, and dreams.

The Reset We All Need

About ten years ago, I began gathering small groups for a four-day Design Your Destiny with NLP training, which was an experience unlike anything most had ever done. People attended in-person for various different reasons:

  • Some needed a life reset: tools to release the past and build a happier present (and a future worth waking up for).
  • Others wanted better business performance: more clarity, increased motivation, enhanced communication skills, and an income boost.
  • A handful were coaches and trainers looking for next-level influence skills to create deeper client breakthroughs and stand out in a noisy marketplace.
  • A few wanted something interesting to enhance their learning and enjoyment of life.

What happened in that room changed numerous lives for the better...

Every day unlocked a new level of awareness. It was like seeing an invisible world full of possibility for the first time. Participants were finding missing pieces of their own puzzles and also noticing behaviors in others they’d never seen before.

For example, did you know:

  • You can tell if someone is lying just by watching how their eyes move.
  • Changing how you stand can impact your mood and outlook.
  • Matching someone's internal representational system for 20 seconds will cause them to feel they can trust you more.
  • You can predict how someone will respond under pressure by how they walk across a room.
  • You can instantly boost motivation or lower stress by modifying the proximity and color of mental images.
  • Intense fears can be eliminated within minutes with two different techniques that require zero positive thinking.


Because the program was deeply experiential, the breakthroughs came in waves. Confidence rose. Focus sharpened. Joy returned and energy buzzed through the room like electricity.

Graduates wrote me at 30 days, 6 months, even years later with updates that filled my heart with happiness because of the successes they attributed to that training.

A couple of years later, my corporate consulting took off. I was on planes and in boardrooms nonstop. There simply wasn’t enough time to run the Design Your Destiny program anymore.

Several years after that, the whole world shut down for two years and all live events came to an end.


What People Are Asking For Post-Pandemic

I’ve been listening intently on calls, at events, and in messages to what people are yearning for and most feel like something is missing, but they can't put a finger on what it is.

The general sentiment is that people wished they had more time, money, and excitement, but that's surface-level and not what's actually causing the unrest.

I’ve had the rare privilege of peaking into the lives of thousands of people who've shared their hopes, dreams, regrets, fears, and deepest pain. From this, I have also witnessed what actually improves lives and what does not.

But even with all this experience, I feel lost sometimes as well and in those times I turn to prayer. Today, I prayed for clarity, and a single message kept coming up:

Step up. Lead. Do what you love.

I loved facilitating Design Your Destiny programs and miss the live group energy and spontaneous wonder participants felt as they went through the interactive experiences.

Also, by the grace of God, I find myself now living next to the happiest place on earth (Disney World), which is the perfect location to hold events.

I flew to Florida numerous times to attend live seminars and trainings before moving here. It always felt like going on a vacation at the same time that I was building the skill sets to grow my business and become a better version of me.

Now, you are about to have the same opportunity to experience what feels like a purposeful retreat, a jumpstart for your goals/business, and a spirit-rejuvenating adventure!

Imagine days of breakthroughs, evenings at Disney Springs, or an extra day at the parks. Transformation + wonder = Yes, please!


Ready To Design Your Destiny?

I'm bringing back my Design Your Destiny program on November 13th- 16th, 2025 in Orlando, Florida.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Hypnotherapy, and my proven One Belief Away™ transformation framework to uplevel your personal fulfillment and professional success.

If you’ve been praying for a sign… this is it.


What Is NLP & Why Do You Need It:

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is often called the “owner’s manual for the mind” and "the study of excellence." It reveals how your brain codes experiences, and the steps for installing a set of beliefs and habits that accelerate goal attainment.

That’s why top performers rely on it from Oprah Winfrey and Sir Anthony Hopkins to Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, and Tony Robbins.

  • Celebrities use NLP to manage stress, stay authentic, and keep their confidence steady under the spotlight.
  • Athletes use it to get into the zone, sharpen focus, and bounce back from setbacks instantly.
  • Entrepreneurs and business leaders use it to stay calm in chaos, maximize influence, make decisions that build lasting success, and 10X sales and marketing efforts.

I've used these skills to transition from an anxious blue collar kid who grew up in corn fields to becoming an executive coach for Fortune 500 companies and 7 and 8 figure business owners.

Your goal may not be creating wealth or fame. Perhaps you want to feel inner peace more regularly, have a clear system for strengthening relationships, break bad habits, or become an extraordinarily effective leader.

Whatever your goal, this program gives you the tools, clearest path to success, and tremendous support. I’m reopening this training because in a world of constant stress and distraction, having the ability to control your thoughts, emotions, and behavior at an elite level is essential if you wish to reach your full potential.

👉 Enrollment is not open yet. However, if this resonates and you're interested in attending and wish to learn more, simply reply to this email with the word “Destiny.”

I’ll send you details on how to claim your seat to this exclusive event in November.

Your next chapter awaits. Don't hope for it. Design it!
